Hi,
I just committed code for libalsaplayer to CVS. This means that writing
remote controlling clients has suddenly become a piece of cake.
On a system with libalsaplayer.so installed the following piece of code
will seek to an arbitrary position (in seconds) in the current song for
example:
-------- seek.c -------------
#include <alsaplayer/control.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int pos;
if (argc == 2) {
pos = atoi(argv[1]);
if (ap_set_int (0, AP_SET_INT_POS_SECOND, pos) != -1) {
printf("Seeked to second %d\n", pos);
}
}
return 0;
}
------------- end -----------
compile: gcc -o seek seek.c -lalsaplayer
I have implemented most of the commands currently defined in the
control.h file. The session code is still setup to support a single
session (and user) at any time, this will change soon.
I have also added a new command line option -e (or --enqueue). When
starting alsaplayer with -e it will try to append the files to the
playlist of the already running alsaplayer process, instead of starting
a whole new copy. This is btw the most requested feature by my wife, it
makes creating playlists on-the-fly very simple, just setup your file
browser to execute alsaplayer -e $file whenever you click an mp3 :-)
Regards,
Andy
